In an update, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that after the meetings the decision was made to not add more matches to the card. There are currently 10 matches announced for Extreme Rules and even with one match being moved to the Kickoff pre-show, there will still be some matches that are rushed.

Regarding the attendance for Sunday's pay-per-view from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the Observer reports that this will probably be the lowest-drawing pay-per-view for the city in recent memory. Ticket sales are far from the low level of the recent Stomping Grounds pay-per-view, and the crowd will look fine on TV, but likely won't be completely sold out. The advance ticket sales were weak enough that they started the 2-for-1 ticket promo this past week.

It was estimated that 6,000 fans attended Stomping Grounds at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, with paid attendance being around 4,000 - 4,500 fans, making it one of the smallest WWE pay-per-view crowds in a long time. 2-for-1 deals were also offered for that pay-per-view. There's no word on how many fans are expected for Extreme Rules, but 12,500 fans attended the 2017 Battleground pay-per-view and WWE announced 17,293 fans in attendance for the WrestleMania 33 go-home RAW on March 27, 2017, both from the Wells Fargo Center in Philly.
